The motor in my opinion is the best overall 250 four cycle made to date,the power and durability are there.Dependability is number one .

There is a black connector with two pins, its fault long, and coming of the main wiring.. I can't find where it came from, @5:22 for a split second I see it sitting on the right side of the fare on top.. it's not anything on the air box.. any help?

awesome video.... ive got a 2016 as well.... was looking into a go racing suspension

This bike (with or without fairing) was designed as a sensible or older biker 'persons' fun / lower budget sport 'ish' commuter bike. I am nearer 60 yrs than 50 and can tell you this bike is quicker to 60 mph than the best ( early model, fastest at stock) 350 YPVS, it is better in every way over the later 70's - to near modern Honda CB 750 / 4. The SV 650 (practically all inc. early carb. models) are much more tractable, faster flat out (just), does comparatively ridiculous miles to a gallon. (You might get 37mpg out of an early ypvs on a long EMPTY WALLET 65mph run and the later slower versions with end can looking exhausts (F2/ N2) might get 40mpg driven home before payday, the CB 750/4 in the 70'S / 80's / 90's was similar here and if you thrashed any of them they dropped to below 30 mpg.) The sv650 is what it is, it is not a great tuning platform or anything.. (but it is faster than a stock early 350 YPVS and does 20 more mpg ish) The ENGINE is better than the rest of the bike (suits me. Heavier riders should likely take a tooth off the front sprocket of faired bikes) So. IF you dont like the brakes on your SV 650 change them or sell it and buy another bike. When they are all 'gone', a lot of people (esp in in Europe) will regret not buying a scruffy SV 650 for sub 2k euros just cos they go like a frick3n 350 powervalve.

Best video of a WR250R that I've seen yet! Nice work! I want one...

no wonder, why you are missing a little bit torque: your reartyre dimension is "wrong"! The whole set up is made for 120/80, not for 120/90! So the diameter is way bigger and you loose torque. You would need more teeth on the rear sprocket to just have the stock transmission. You need to wind this out more, it can handle higher rpm than other Japan enduros. To me, the WR250R is just a lovely bike. Still a bit too small for big drivers and yeah, 50-100ccm on top would be so great. As well I chose another spring and use a higher seat. In the end, absolut handy and super easy to control bike. Riding is just relaxing and under control.

That thing sounds like you’ve still got it very choked up remove the restrictors off then take it for a ride Myself Iam experienced and much rather the wrf the r is more like a learner bike/farm bike (too slow)

Dude I need to talk to you about this work lol

This could have comfortably been a large scooter, by having the fuel tank under the seat. Why did they make it as a motorbike...who knows?

ive got the same bike and same year, look!

i know that butthole clenched lmao

no its not its discontinued

Buen trabajo e información, tengo el mismo problema del sensor con mi sr20de.

Just picked up an 09 with a blown motor for 1200 this series is going to help a bunch

I'm glad I bought my CRF 300L, it's got gobs of tractor factor, torquey down low and mid and it's so forgiving on gear selection, there's just always power there when you roll on it. Seems you gotta ring these out to unlock the power.

Very fun bike to build, and even more fun to ride.

Love my wr250r for all the reasons you mentioned and more! Great video and damn good riding! Thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍

When the wr250 falls and fails to start, just try to get it level, so that might mean sideways across the trail. It'll start right up. Still annoying, though

Front brak line on cbr600rr go behind the fork body

Tusk d sports have lasted me thousands of Miles on payment.

I hate riding mine because when it gets old, i cant get another one.

Yup, That Honda Horn ,bad placement

Failed CA smog due to high ignition timing. This video was a huge help.

la mejor 250 que vi

I run 13/52 and top out at 60-65. I ride off-road and single track; this bike likes rpms. These bikes have a tip over kill switch that requires you to cycle the key if it kills itself. For back tire stability and traction, adjust the rear shock rebound and balance the tire. I would ride on the road with the sun behind me and watch my shadow as the rear tire would bounce off the ground; that's lost traction and control.

do you have a video of taking out the fairings?

Dig it, good stuff !! I love mine....

I like my r more then my f

Where is this, nevada? And how does it compare to the drz?

Amazing video, I love wr250r!

My favorite motorcyle. : )

I live near the Ortega. let me know next time you go up there and i’ll meet up.

would the 1190 exhaust go on these .

Had a fit years and years ago, the top half definitely looks like it!

5:04 Mmm that's maybe your 700, my 2017 nc750s is slick as a nut and clutchless change is easy

4:25 it's just one of those 'honda' things

0:33 it's not half a jazz engine uban myth, the car engineering division collaborated for the design on this for two years which was a first for Honda, that and a joke made at the 2012 launch by lead developer about the car engine being cut in half

Good bikes, have 32k miles on mine.

Very nice 👍. The camera stabilization, b roll, location, laying the bike down, commentary, and riding ability really make this video one of the better pieces of wr250r content.

So did the eBay kit mount the headlights without a bottom part like the oem one needed?

1:21 no it's not urban myth, the car division had input into the engine design which was a first, but it's not 'half a jazz engine' 😊

Beautiful area! Where is it?

Can you keep passenger footrests if you fit akrapovic exhausts?

damn.

Badass video. I love my wr250r

what do you need the timing light for? can the procedure be done without one?

14:06 the whole 'half of a fit/jazz engine' is BS true that the honda car engineering side had input into the engine design of the NC but that's it 👌🏻

13:02 on the rear shock the whole dog bone assembly should be stripped once a year and cleaned and greased 👍🏻

8:04 might be an idea to fit some fork leg guards to protect the chrome leg 😊

This location looks amazing!
